Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
Yep I agree and I'd certainly buy it. It wouldn't do his credibility any harm either. His solo stuff is OK but nothing I would really rave over and he could shake the journey man tag.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 May 2018, 2:30pmI'd drool over that.

I still think Morrissey has the best Morrissey style voice over anybody. If there was a Morrissey tribute act then Morrissey would have to be the lead singer.oliver wrote: ↑17 May 2018, 2:25pmMaybe you're right.

Can't wait for Moz's cover of the Horst Wessel song.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
I saw that the other day. His fall from grace has been somewhat fascinating...though not surprising. His lyrics and interviews have been littered with amazingly tone deaf comments for decades. I admit I was a huge Smiths fan as an awkward teen and I continued to be a fan until not that long ago...but as the quality of his music has declined and his stupid comments have increased...I really find him to have become massively distasteful.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 6:11am*gasp* Morrissey cancels tour … because people are mean.

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
It hasn't. Their music meant a lot to me for so long and I really have enjoyed a lot of Morrissey's solo work. To be honest, I liked Spent the Day in Bed when it came out. Just seems like there was a point where he could say dumb things and it wasn't exactly "funny" but there was a bite and a wit to it and then he lost that edge and just started coming across as being woefully behind the times. I've often felt he doesn't really believe a lot of the stuff he says - he just says it to be provocative because that worked for him for so many years - but he's lost the ability to be witty and he's now just boorish. I don't want to be an apologist because he's said some really dumb/awful things as of late. It's all really just kind of sad.Marky Dread wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 9:02amBut that's not stopped you enjoying The Smiths music tho' right?WestwayKid wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 6:30amI saw that the other day.
